Well after waiting almost three weeks down time, today I fired her up again!
A very big thanks to all here for the good posts and reading material. Coupled with careful use of the Honda shop manual, I finished changing my blown head gasket and replaced my 30 year old timing belts. She needed some extra effort to get fired up again after sitting around but didnt complain. New paint on the exhuast pipes stinks badly while breaking in to heat. What little oil that found its way into my coolant has been flushed clean and all I really need to do tomorrow night is re-adjust my points and I'll be riding again!:cheeky1:
Which is a good thing cause if I didnt get to ride again soon, somebody at work was gonna get to see me have a nervous break-down!:shock:
PS Timing belts are very easy to change on a GL1000 !
